Hi guys and girls.

I have an interview in New York 12/14 and an interview in Boston 12/15. I also have an interview in New Haven on the 20th and an interview in New York on the 21st. What is the best way to do this? Is it even possible or am I setting myself up for heartache? I live on the West Coast so I'm not familiar with the area at all.

Thanks!

It'll be really expensive and really exhausting, but I don't see why you couldn't do it. Having friends in the area (with cars) would make life much better.
 
Yes, it's possible. It'll just be exhausting, especially the NY interview one day followed by the Boston interview the next.

Is there any way the two NY programs can help you out by moving one of the interview dates to the day after/before the other? Maybe the 13th and 14th?
 
Possible, yes.

Fly into New York, do the interview, then take the Amtrak up to Boston that same day (or megabus/chinatown bus, but Amtrak would be more relaxing, and only take ~4 hours..that distance is not worth flying imo)

Then, unless you have a place to crash, you might be better off flying back home.

Then I'd fly into LGA (1.5 hours from New Haven) or HPN (Westchester, NY (about 1 hour from New Haven). If you can get a cheap ticket, might be worth checking HVN (New Haven) as well.

For New Haven to New York, by far the cheapest and easiest thing to do is take the Metro North railroad. It'll take you from New Haven to Grand Central in New York. Hope that helps a little bit. If you'd like more info, pm
